Since the first days of the Niagara Frontier Radio Reading Service, our broadcasts have been transmitted to special radio receivers over a subcarrier frequency. While this technology has barely changed in more than thirty years, it remains the foundation of our service.
Yet times are different now – and there is an entirely new communication medium that is widely available. The Internet! So, in addition to listening to programs through NFRRS radio receivers, Listeners can now access our live broadcast as well as past programs online! 24/7, 365 days a year.
Information for accessing our programs is available below.
If you are someone who is unable to read a book or any other printed matter and would like to listen to these programs over a radio, you can have one loaned to you at no cost. Simply download and complete a Listener Application and return it by regular mail or E-mail and we will contact you to arrange delivery.
